The facade of the old school is registered in the list of cultural monuments and located in the conservation zone of the urban monument reservation. Due to the construction of a new building, it was necessary to reinforce and structurally support (by means of an anchored reinforced concrete wall) the south wing of the old section of the school. No fissures were allowed to develop because they could damage the valuable art nouveau facades. Therefore, great emphasis was given to the technological and structural design of the reinforced concrete gunite wall. Precise geodetic measurements confirmed that the decline of the south wing of the school of the gunite wall was minimum, specifically 1,5 mm, after the completion. No cracks appeared. The building won first place in the “Building of the South Moravian Region” competition in 2018 in the category of public utilities in the Czech Republic – see www.gero.cz.

Assessment Procedures

To strengthen the resilience of our built environment, a good understanding of seismic risk is required. Probabilistic performance-based assessment is able to rigorously compute seismic risk and the advent of numerical computer-based analyses has helped with this. However, it is still a challenging process and as such, this study presents a simplified probabilistic displacement-based assessment approach for reinforced concrete wall buildings. The proposed approach is trialed by applying the methodology to 4-, 8-, and 12-story case study buildings, and results are compared with those obtained via multi-stripe analyses, with allowance for uncertainty in demand and capacity, including some allowance for modeling uncertainty. The results indicate that the proposed approach enables practitioners to practically estimate the median intensity associated with exceeding a given mechanism and the annual probability of exceeding assessment limit states. Further research to extend the simplified approach to other structural systems is recommended. Moreover, the research highlights the need for more information on the uncertainty in our strength and deformation estimates, to improve the accuracy of risk assessment procedures.
